[Imc-radio] minutes

[Sandra Ahten]

Confirming these minutes from the radio group meeting today and adding a few 
things.
1) Ellen is producing the entire show for next Monday. Her piece on Allied 
Media is 23 minutes. She wants help with the headlines or some shorter 
newstory to proceed her feature piece. Sandra will probably be able to help 
with this and will be in touch with Ellen.

2) The following week's show will be co-produced by Dave and Nicky. If they 
need any help they shoud let Sandra know, otherwise she will assume they 
will take care of everything including getting finished cd to WEFT.

>The steering committee is a group of IMC members.  Each working group, of 
>which radio is one, is supposed to have a spokesperson (spoke) at the 
>steering committee meeting.  That is how consensus is reached for the IMC.  
>At this time Zach is our spoke and has asked us to replace him or 
>communicate with him better about radio issues.  Anyone interested in 
>serving as the radio spoke should let us know.  If Zach continues to be the 
>radio spoke, he will need direct communication about radio issues.  (Do not 
>assume he is reading radio emails).

>Steering committee meetings are the first Thursday of the month.
>Next one: July 1 at 8:00.

>Current steering committee issues:
>-  We still need staff and the website needs updating.  Meetings are at 
>11:00 on Tues.
>-  Archives of our shows are very difficult to access or upload.
>-  The shows are not classified in any coherent way and there is no link 
>between the new radio website and the IMC website. (ucimc.org).
>-  Did we get the money at WEFT from the programming committee?
>-  Were we supposed to get $800 from the CPB money they get and can we ask 
>for it again and get $800 more and hire somebody?
>-  We also need a liaison at WEFT to try to arrange for another airtime 
>slot.  The people who are keeping radio going can produce but we can't 
>produce and market/promote and do the technical part of the website.

>(AGENDA)
>
>1.  Sandra is soliciting opinions from citizens to put together 
>citizenspeak pieces.  When Sandra reads local webpages, letters to the 
>editor,  it seems to be primarily the voices of men.  She is seeking the 
>voices of women and minorities.
>
>2.  Nicky is here for the summer and would like to produce radio.  She 
>would like to do a college radio show when she returns to Connecticut in 
>the Fall.  Her idea was to have a one hour show on Sunday nights with jazz 
>and reading a story aloud... ending with some classical music.  Nicky could 
>use IMC resources and make some demo discs of this idea to use as a show 
>proposal.  She currently works at Prairie Rivers Network and might want to 
>do a piece on stormdrains, and alerting people as to what pollutes them.   
>She could do an interview with a Prairie Rivers representative.  Another 
>idea would be to read a written article.  This doesn't make the most 
>interesting radio, but it's OK.  The third way would be to gather audio: 
>interview, noises of people working at the site, snippets.  Nicky was also 
>interested, parttcularly after watching Fahrenheit 911, about the location 
>of the military recruiting office.
>Nicky is going to try to produce a 7 minute piece about Sewer Drains and 
>the Prairie Rivers group where she interns.
>
>3.  Dave is making a 13 minute piece with interviews of the NAACP or the 
>Police department as a followup to the story on the 28th.
>
>4.  Ellen Knutson had planned to produce for the next show.  Is this still 
>on?
>She is making a 23 minute show about the allied media conference and it 
>needs headlines.
